The "distinguish" template points out an article whose title is similar to the page in question. It is used in cases where the distinction between the titles is generally obvious and does not need further explanation.
If the difference is not readily apparent without additional details, you should use {{about}} (cat) and {{for}} (cat) instead of {{distinguish}}. This will provide explanation upfront without requiring the reader to click through and differentiate the terms on their own.
